Each two-disc set includes the original release accompanied by a second disc
filled with rarities related to the album.
Like all bands who transcended their time to become cornerstones of an era,
Faith No More sounded like nobody else. The group's commercial breakthrough
came in 1989 with the release of ‘The Real Thing.’ It was the band's third
album, but the first to feature the line-up of Mike Bordin (drums), Roddy Bottum
(keyboards), Bill Gould (bass), Jim Martin (guitars), and Mike Patton
(vocals).
The album was incredibly diverse, yet every song was linked by the band's own developing style. It peaked at #11 on the charts and was certified platinum, spawning the singles, “From Out Of Nowhere” and “Falling To Pieces,” as well as “Epic,” which was ubiquitous on radio and MTV.
The bonus disc puts a different spin on many of the album tracks with remixed versions of “Epic” and “Falling To Pieces,” as well as live performances of “Surprise You're Dead,” “Underwater Love” and the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs.” The disc also includes the b-sides “Cowboy Song” and “The Grade.”
